It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-38569 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38569/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38569/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-38569","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38569/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-38569","record":{"aliases":["AZL-73806","BELL-CVE-2025-38569","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38569","GHSA-m89v-jrp4-5q36","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-38569","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-38569","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-38569","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-38569","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38569"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with root privileges can crash the Linux kernel by creating SR-IOV virtual functions in the benet network driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbenet: fix BUG when creating VFs\n\nbenet crashes as soon as SRIOV VFs are created:\n\n kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:3457!\n Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI\n CPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 7408 Comm: test.sh Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.16.0+ #1 PREEMPT(voluntary)\n [...]\n RIP: 0010:vunmap+0x5f/0x70\n [...]\n Call Trace:\n  \u003cTASK\u003e\n  __iommu_dma_free+0xe8/0x1c0\n  be_cmd_set_mac_list+0x3fe/0x640 [be2net]\n  be_cmd_set_mac+0xaf/0x110 [be2net]\n  be_vf_eth_addr_config+0x19f/0x330 [be2net]\n  be_vf_setup+0x4f7/0x990 [be2net]\n  be_pci_sriov_configure+0x3a1/0x470 [be2net]\n  sriov_numvfs_store+0x20b/0x380\n  kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x354/0x530\n  vfs_write+0x9b9/0xf60\n  ksys_write+0xf3/0x1d0\n  do_syscall_64+0x8c/0x3d0\n\nbe_cmd_set_mac_list() calls dma_free_coherent() under a spin_lock_bh.\nFix it by freeing only after the lock has been released.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"benet: fix BUG when creating VFs","id":"CVE-2025-38569","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"eth: fbnic: unlink NAPIs from queues on error to open","id":"CVE-2025-38570"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"net/sched: mqprio: fix stack out-of-bounds write in tc entry parsing","id":"CVE-2025-38568"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-08-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-23","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local attacker with root privileges can crash the Linux kernel by creating SR-IOV virtual functions in the benet network driver.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-38569/"}
